Sometime I Have to Make a Phone Call Instead of Texting/ IM / Skype / Email Because…

Day by day, with the use of Instant Messaging platforms like the BBM, Whatsapp, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, G Talk, etc, the culture of calling someone is just fading away. While someone may argue that there are several advantages of texting rather than calling someone in person, like you can think before you speak, you can multi task, it can remove the barriers of shyness, texts are forever, etc.

I, personally think that I would rather make a call rather than sending across a text or a ping. Not calling someone may make the person feel undesirable. Also, when we talk more, the feeling, the expression is much more than when I text. Texts are not human beings, it can’t intonate, it can’t express as we humans do!

Phones, Skype, IM, and Email

When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone and posted it to the post office? It’s been sometime, right? Do you remember booking trunks to call long distance? Faintly, isn’t it? Okay! That has where the world have moved with the advent of technology and time. It’s really surprising that today’s present so quickly becomes tomorrows past.

The world has become technologically advanced, and the advancement is continuous. There was a time, when a telephone was a far cry for most of us and most of the households wouldn’t even have phones. Those were the days when one would walk up to a public telephone or pay and use telephone. Then came a time, when the telephones made way to people’s homes. Today, the phones have made way to everyone’s pockets and it just takes a simple tap to call someone.
